Cheah, I beat Metroid Prime: Hunters last night at about 2330EDT. Took me about 45 minutes to do it, but I finally beat the game. I feel sorta accomplished, but my record for beating the game is like 11:23 hrs, and that's, well, slow, even for me. Anyway, I'm up for the next challenge, like fighting through the other apparent parts of the fight. Seems like there's 2 movies I missed the first time around.
That would be nice. 'cause right now, I'm looking at that $40 adapter. That isn't too good; I've been waiting for my dad to set up and get a wireless network, but progress has been slow. Nevertheless, I set it up, plug in Metroid Prime: Hunters, and start kickin' ass! Oh god, I love this thing! Get one! Next comes the Wii...
Yeah, I reserved that thing on Sunday (9/3) and I'm getting ready to play some Metroid Prime: Hunters! First though, I have to fight through the lines to pick it up, and then buy a copy of Metroid Prime: Hunters. Whaddya think? Should I just buy the game this week so I don't have to worry about plunking down an extra $35, or should I wait till launch day?
I reserved the system at a small EBGames outside of Charlotte in a major shopping center. It has a Costco, Sam's Club, Circuit City, Target, and a Best Buy down the street, so I shouldn't worry too much about availiability, just the lines. Here's something that irritated me, though: I had to pay $25 minimum just to reserve. Was it worth it? I think so, since the DS Lite Polar White sold 600K in the first days of release. Of course, most people would have bought one by now, but Onyx just looks so much more badass. This is the only reason I didn't get one then: the color sucked, and I knew they'd come out with new color schemes in a few months. I just had to wait from June to September. The reason I didn't get the standard DS is because the launch line-up was meh, and Nintendo frequently updates their handhelds, if only for a different color set. I really wanted black, anyway.
That all aside, I am getting one on September 11th, which is not only the 5-year remembrance of a day that we Americans will never forget, and also my parents' anniversary. Getting a ride will be difficult. They said they might be going out to dinner by themselves. What the hell; it's their day, but the coincidence is annoying: reserves can fail and someone else can grab the system I want! They don't restock for 2 weeks, I lose $25, and I may hunt around Charlotte searching for an unclaimed DS Lite (which will only make me lose more money on gas)!
Bloody hell.
